I almost committed road rage today.

I am a nice polite person. I have never considered violence against another person.

Today as I was driving into town, I approached a vehicle with a sign that said "Vote Trump to get us out of this Slump".
The elderly asshole who was driving was driving a Mercedes SUV, a damn Mercedes. I wanted to force him off the road and scream what the hell where you driving before this slump.....??? How far you must have fallen in this awful Obama economy that you can only drive a Mercedes SUV.

My Prius and I continued into town and ran errands.

Damn, I really wanted to give him a piece of my mind and vent all the rage I feel, but I am an adult and I behaved.

with "T: The President" on the bumper. I wanted to pull up next to them, honk the horn, and fake swerving left into them, hoping they would crash and burn up. But I didn't, of course..... but... never mind!

No more nothing for anyone in it that voted for this monster!

Many have lots of $$$, plenty of $$$, so many $$$ all they care about is how to get more $$$ and they sure as hell do not share with anyone.

Greedy bigoted racists they have revealed themselves to be alas. Glad I won't be wasting any more of what time I may have left on any of "them". Good damn riddance! This is the only thing I am grateful for, I NOW KNOW as disturbing as it may be.

I live in red Virginia. Got cut off in traffic by an SUV that a "Hillary for Prison" bumper sticker. Really wanted to flip off that SOB. I didn't kinda wish I had.

I am of the understanding that experts were very concerned over what the Trump effect would be on our economy. The large spike in the market is very narrow, oil/coal/gas, insurance. That bumper sticker was "socially acceptable", after all could not put on the car, vote Trump, make America white again.
